I'm showing you how to grow 5 pounds of mung bean sprouts with 1 cup of dried mung beans! Exciting! Shay: I have tried sprouting Mung beans on a tray but your method is far better. I used a pot like yours but one size smaller because I really can't use 5 pounds of bean sprouts. It produced a huge tray of sprouts! I tried to post a photo here of the amazing result but was not able to do so. Thanks for the tips! This method works best of any I've tried, (Tray and Mason jar) for large beans like Mung beans. I did use cheesecloth instead of onion bag and left off the paper towel. Perfect result. The tops seemed a little on the pinkish brown side rather than white and I think I let them grow maybe a day too long and it was REALLY hot weather the last grow day, what would cause the tops to be pinkish/brown? Yours looked totally white. But they taste good and there is no bad smell about them, so I will blanch them and cook them right away. Now on to find a recipe!

Hi Maangchi, thanks for this recipe. I have made this bi weekly and got the best bean sprouts ever, after 30 years of thin, curvy little sprouts. But I wonder, now that the weather is warming, why the beans (not the sprouts) start turning a rosy, pinkish colour, as if they are going off. They are almost ready, should I harvest them earlier? Keep them colder while they are sprouting? Advice welcome, anyone!

I think you are so much fun to watch, cute and I couldn't believe how many sprouts you grew in that one pot! I'm just trying it for the first time so I'm definitely new at this and you gave me more confidence. Wish I had seen this video before I bought the silly try system I bought. I do have concerns about the plastic in the pot you used, but I cannot believe the harvest you got!

another amazing video. Thank you so much Miss Maangchi. I work. so i can not be home to change water during the day. i will be away 10 hours. Is it worth attempting? i could water before i go to work. then when i come home every 2 hours till i go to bed. What is your feeling on this?

Thank you. I wanted to make lumpia with sprout beans and wanted to do with fresh bean sprout so I decided to grow it. I was doing it the first time. and keep it inside a bowl with water. I was wondering why it doesn't sprout since 5 days pass. Now I know why

Such a delight watching Maangchi. Just like k-dramas there is an element of culture and family traditions. I have made small length sprouts using flat basket from daiso. Never made something this big. Shall try it.

Just did this. Within 3-4 days I had beautiful sprouts. Thank you so much for the inspiration Maangchi. :)
I have too many sprouts now.
How can I store them fresh in the fridge?

We successfully grew sprouts several times. We harvested after 6 days. But in our present batch they seem to be ready after 4 days. Is it ok to harvest earlier? Taste is good: )

These things are loaded with protein and vitamins. People around me boil them but that kinda defeats the purpose of health. I love it's crunchy taste.
